first we see configuration of alkali metal
e.g ns^1
you can see that alkali metal have only one electron in outer shell . hence they have more tendency to loss this electron and form stable ion . it means ionization enthalpy of alkali metal low . due to low ionization enthalpy , and incomplete octet , alkali metals show good conductor of electricity .
